Under contract to Rutgers University, Academy Bus operated the campus shuttles for the New Brunswick and Piscataway campuses under a 10-year contract,[4] until June 30, 2011, after which time First Transit Services, Inc. took over bus operations. Academy has filed a lawsuit against the University over the loss of the contract.[5][6] Despite the loss of shuttle operations, the company continues to provide the chartered bus operations used for tours and other events.
Academy continues to run a separate operation in New York City for New York University and various operations for universities in southern Connecticut and around Boston. Also, Academy Bus operates long-term parking shuttles around Newark Liberty Airport.
Academy Bus provides commuter line run service along several routes from Burlington, Middlesex, Monmouth, and Ocean counties in New Jersey.[7]
